Two aircraft are located on the same radial but at (arbitrary)
different distances from a VOR-station. Which statement
is true?

CORRECT ANSWER IN 23-1209 – MASTER DATA

A) At a certain moment of time, both the phase of the reference
signals and of the variable signals are unequal for both
aircraft.

CORRECT ANSWER IN KEITH WILLIAM

At the certain moment of time the phase of the reference signals is equal and the phase of the variable signal is equal for both.

Age Gap Example:

Two couples:

  • Couple 1 → Male 30, Female 25

  • Couple 2 → Male 40, Female 35

Age gap = 5 years in both cases.

Even though actual ages differ (distance differs), the difference remains identical (like phase difference).

You cannot have:

  • Same male (ref) age but different female (var) age

  • If the gap must remain constant.
